Do you have what it takes to eat grass?

Everyone loves ice cream; this is a scientific fact. However, many ice cream lovers seem to quickly turn away at the thought of vegan ice cream: Why is that? I have a love-hate relationship with vegan food as I am not a vegan. My best friend Charlotte is a die-hard vegan, and she recommended Ben & Jerry’s new vegan ice cream.  Veganism is such an intriguing topic for me because I have spent many breakfast, lunch, and dinner dates with a devout vegan. The fact that someone can avoid, and wants to avoid for that matter, all animal products is amazing to me. The video clip that I would like everyone to watch is an entertaining video of children (the most honest critics in the world) eating vegan and regular Ben & Jerry’s ice cream. As Charlotte has claimed, the vegan ice cream tastes the same, if not better, than regular Ben & Jerry’s ice cream. I hope this clip will help everyone to start thinking about just how many animal products people consume on a regular basis. Is it possible that people could avoid all animal products (like dairy in ice cream) and still receive just as much flavor and satisfaction for vegan equivalents?
